Texas-Style Chili Recipe - All Meat, No Beans!

Are you Team BEANS or NO BEANS in Chili? :face-blue-wide-eyes:

Thanks for the recipe, I am from Germany and I have never seen this style of chili. Just tried a very simplified version (barely got some anchos over here) and while I had no idea what taste to expect I am really overwhelmed by the result. Feels like I just discovered a new dimension of what peppers can contribute to a dish. Really excited to try more recipes from your channel!

Right on! No tomatoes were harmed in the making of that chili! Looks delicious chef!

I am always on the lookout for recipes I can modify for my adult son who has been newly diagnosed with kidney disease and is on dialysis. He needs high protein(mostly poultry and fish). sodium, potassium and phosphorus in foods are especially problematic for him so I’ll omit the salt, Worcestershire sauce, beer and masa from this recipe. I already make salt free spice mixes for him to cook with and not using salt hasn’t been horrible. I think he’ll like this recipe. He’s all about the peppers. Makes his own salt free hot sauces. I will definitely be including all the dried and fresh peppers including serrano! Thank you so much!

I made a simplified version today and it was great. Best chili I have made so far from dried peppers. I have a base to work up from and for that I am eternally grateful.

Mike, No BEANS! I just made this and LOVE this recipe! So much so, I just purchased your Cookbooks and am anxiously awaiting their delivery! I just let it reduce naturally and not add the masa since I have a problem with corn and worked perfectly. Three thumbs up!

Great recipe. My family had two restaurants where they served a Texas-style chili, which was similar to your recipe. Ours wasn't prepared with beans either. However, the meat was served over twice-cooked kidney or pinto beans, while some people preferred their meat in our chili dogs, or over pasta. I still make a version, which I enjoy throughout the year. Thanks again.

I am making this again! I did it a year ago for friends and they were blown away. I am also doing the Shrimp creole too with the worcestershire sauce lol. Thank you for your awesome recipes and tutorials Mike. You are the best. From Ronnie in Cambridge England.

OMG YES! I made it last week and it was sooo good. Making it again today! 😋

Thumbs up on the masa flour... Been doing that for years..though I find a tbs is plenty. When adding any flour or cornstarch to a recipe it's always easier to premix first with a liquid using a fork in a cup so it's flowable but any lumps are gone. Adding loose flour to a pot can be a recipe for disaster and you end up chasing lumps... same approach for gravies. Learned that little trick from my mom 🤠🇺🇲

You're absolutely correct, it's all about the chilies. I find the masa adds a very nice and unique flavor. Another great Mike creation. Cheers.

Made it this weekend. Came out great. One tip I also used 2 lbs of ground chuck so it was more meatier and had a thicker consistency

I made this today. Had to sub banana peppers as I forgot the jalapenos, but I did have jalapeno powder. Depth of flavor is amazing. I also subbed ground up spicy pork rinds for the Masa, required about 4T to thicken and about 3 hours at simmer. Just took it off the fire and sampled half a cup. I swear this this the best chili I've ever made. Thanks for the recipe.

Man, that looks great! Bet it tastes even better. I’m always on the lookout for different chili recipes and will definitely try this one to pair with some cornbread.

Seriously one of the best videos of chili making I have seen on YouTube. Kudos. Although chili is from Texas. Lol. I wouldn't say there are other styles. This is it!

ancho, guajillo, simmer pepper pods in shiner bock with the seasoning blend; immersion blender til super smooth. simmer til slightly reduced and thickened, then add to pot of browned ground brisket scraps, simmer til further thickened and chow down. Oh and DEFINATELY NO BEANS!!!! Bonus flavor as a chili pie with pickled jalapenos and some fresh crema :) Bonus edit: native Texan of over 40 years

Nice, sounds great. I have tendency to make my own chili powders. Like the chili paste idea.

Fantastic, I have looked at so many recipes but now, finally this is exactly what I have been looking for, thank you! I have a lot of left over brisket from yesterdays smoke and now it has a reason to live on to be eaten another day. (I am still learning to smoke brisket and the flat was not as tender as I had hoped for.) I am now a subscriber and look forward to more, thanks again.

What an amazing video my friend, can't wait to try this out!

I followed the directions because you make that EZ to do. Everybody loved me including myself. Turned out so Nice, Thank You my Brother..
